SLBP “The Dark Side of the Moon” Event Review
Confession time: when it’s battle event season in SLBP, I don’t even bother opening the app nowadays 😂 Anyway, here are my thoughts on the latest ninja event, meant to serve as a prequel to the other ninja event (the sex one) we had a few weeks ago!
In Kyoichiro’s story, the ex-ninja has to come to terms with the fact that MC is still an active ninja with ninja-ish obligations. Except he doesn’t really, and instead gets cold and upset when Nobunaga has MC create a specialized poison for ninjas and she follows through (“You aren’t a child. You’ll be fine without me around”). Not a good look, dude. He does redeem himself - kind of - when he saves MC from the ever villainous Sakuya later, I guess, but, still. In the end he “helps” MC realize she wants to negotiate a better position with Nobunaga and he promises to assist, except we never get to see him actually do that because the route ends on an admittedly cute seduction scene instead.
There were TONS of stupidly cute scenes between Kyoichiro and MC in this ES, but tbh I still found it really frustrating, especially given what he pulls in this event’s sequel. Like...he promises to help MC not have to be a poison ninja, but if we look at his future actions, he then totally sabotages her efforts to find a less shitty boss in the form of Shingen?! Ughhhh. Not to mention how completely awful he was to MC when she was just doing her job as a ninja in this ES. Kyoichiro was way too hot and then cold in this story for my liking, and I personally found his emotional strong-arming of MC to be completely unattractive. If he’s gonna emotionally manipulate his girlfriend into doing what he wants, he should at least try to have the charm to go along with it like Hideyoshi, ffs! Overall I suspect a lot of people will find this story sweet, especially with all the cute and seductive lines, but I really disliked it.
Personal enjoyment: 2/10
The ever-dramatic Hanzo has to go back to Hattori village to deal with some political unrest (he’s the future chief) in his ES, and poor MC literally cannot handle his impending absence. Doesn’t help that Hanzo doesn’t seem to know when (or if) he’s coming back, and MC doesn’t have the balls to ask if he’ll miss her or not. Girl please! Anyway, turns out this forced separation was all part of evil Sakuya’s grand plan, and when MC tries to leave Mikawa for her own safety she falls right into the guy’s trap, gets chased around for days, and in the end it’s up to Hanzo to save her and bring her home! Now why MC didn’t just make a big loop back to Mikawa after realizing she was being chased we’ll never know... In any case, Yandere!Hanzo comes out in full force, and it’s, uh, something else. After dragging MC to the room and gifting her with a hickey in the creepiest/sexiest way possible, he leaves her with this lovely Hanzo-ism: “I shall not forgive you for leaving on your own again.” Because of course. 😂
That creepy/sexy ending bugs me way less than one might think (actually I liked it). Hot yet fucked up is Hanzo’s signature style, after all! That said, I didn’t really love the earlier part of this story. For starters, Hanzo was a total ass to my boy Kiyohiro, referring him to as an “it.” Bro. Also, he totally should’ve given MC more clarity regarding how to be safe in Mikawa in his absence! Or, maybe it’s Kiyohiro’s fault for being vague about his orders, who knows. I’m also not hugely fond of how useless MC seemed in this story. In any case, it takes a lot for me to not give a Hanzo route a 10, but this plot was just too annoying to read for me to fully enjoy. Full props to Hanzo for his amazing quotes and off the charts sexiness though! (“Once I might have lived with the thought of you dying somewhere without me knowing, but it is now more than I can bear. I suppose I must at last name this obsession I have formed with you as love.”)
Personal enjoyment: 7/10
Genya’s route is an adventure. Saku’s been tasked with finding and killing an old friend and Iga fugitive, and in the meanwhile, there’s been a weird mental contagion spreading from the pleasure district that Kojuro would like MC to help heal. Both MC and Genya end up doing a fair amount of scouting around the brothels - even though, as Genya rightfully points out, it’s wayyy dangerous for MC, and her poor spying skills almost gets them in trouble at some point! In the end, Genya gets proof that the Iga guy has been responsible for the mental weirdness. He works with MC to set up a trap: he pretends to capture MC and offer her to Iga guy as a test subject, and then surprise cuts the guy down, helping MC get the info she needs to create a remedy while sparing Saku from an unpleasant mission in the process!
I love how action-packed this ES was! ^_^ I’m not usually big on jealousy as a plot device, but one of my favorite parts of the story was definitely when Genya pretended to reassure a madly jealous MC after she crashed his meeting with the Iga guy in order to hide her face (“C’mon, don’t cry. I’m not here ‘cause I’m messin’ around with other women, okay?”)! Lol. Overall, I thought Genya was in fine form in this story: sexy, flirtatious, loving, just the right amount of protective... 😍 Anyways, this ES really highlights the fact that even a “simple” story line that’s well executed can be really enjoyable!
Personal enjoyment: 9/10
What did you all think of this latest event? :)

So the review itself isn’t good (read at your own risk, Sticky!), but one of the comments below says that LaToya Ferguson gave a positive review on Uproxx.
I’m always happy when LaToyas name suddenly pops up.
(I don’t want to start anything, I promise. You don’t even have to read the avclub. Just wanted to let you know that LaToya had a review of Weird City & were I came upon that information. If this seems in any way like me trying to harsh on your bae day, that wasn’t my intention! You can just ignore all of this then. I’ve seen some people try it with you yesterday and I don’t want you think I’m tryin it too!)

Was pretty even keeled and very well done (even though she came for... my new woobie? I still- can’t, Idk). I’m a little surprised by AV Club, they seemed to be looking for the negativity which isn’t like them. To not be able to find even the implication of joy in these eps feels pretty willful to me, but whatevs, baeweek continues and my shine is long!
Aaa i’ve been so reluctant to finish up the first season of akagami no shirayukihime bcs i always feel a feeling of loss when i finish something -- but it’s okay i got to be brave and just finish the first season up! At least there’s a second season out there, waiting for me! \^0^/
Wow i love the friendship between the five so much omg. Kiki, mitsuhide, shirayuki, zen and obi. Obi needs a girl lmao I CAN BE THAT GIRL. i mean not to say that you HAVE to have a gf/bf, but when you have 5 people and 4 out of 5 are like shipped with one another, being the lone guy of the 5 kind of sucks, doesn’t it? LOLOLOL IDK.
But i love obi so much. He’s so precious. He can be my favourite in the anime, next to shirayuki <333 oh my god i feel a little conflicted & confused rn bc obi just handed over a hair ornament to shirayuki. I mean which male gives a wearable gift to a girl if you’re not interested in her right??? OMG wait is this what i sense -- jealousy?? UNREQUITED LOVE?? OMG
Oh yes i love izana as well. Terribly underrated, and deserves love+ smothering as well, that guy. HE’S SO CUTE. so noble. So charismatic. <3 HAHAHAHA MITSUHIDE FACEPALMING HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST PRECIOUS SCENE LOL
That was a beautiful closure. Bless. It didn’t have the “fantasy” i expected (aka demons, magic, and such) but it still didn’t disappoint bc of its amazing storyline, art, and characters. Yah that was super good! I’m so glad i watched it <3 WOAH- well- i just watched the trailer for its second season and it looks like such a blast! I was hoping to see mihaya (the kidnapper) again and he appeared yet again! :D i’m not sure if i want to continue on to the second season or start on a new anime. I’ll leave that question hanging for now, and do something else ~~ <3
I started watching High & Low and seriously it’s just .... I can’t even! XD
It’s an Action Show, purely to show off great choreos and good looking guys with too much testosteron who fight all the time. One episode has only 22 minutes but even so they put some plot into it. And of course it’s all very dramatic :P
And then there are moments like this: The whole gang is going crazy bc one of them was chased by another group and they suspect he went to a gang called “Rude Boys” (who’re quite good at backflips andd parkour XD) while trying to chase someone afterwards. Of course they can’t let anything happen to him, so Cobra, the leader, starts walking toward the district. Soon a lot of ppl of his gang join him as well and they walk this dramatic, cliche walk ... until Dan (the very guy they wanted to find) joins as well, asking who they’re going to find! All stopp, look at him and simply turn back ....I had to stop bc I almost died laughing XD This is the humour I want to see XD
